IT Consulting for Vancouver & Burnaby Small Businesses
Most small businesses only think about their IT provider when something breaks. IT consulting is the opposite — planning budgets, upgrades, and technology decisions before they become urgent, from someone who's worked with local businesses since 2010.About
What’s included:
Technology Roadmap and budgeting
Vendor and software recommendations
Growth planning (what changes as you add staff or locations)
Compliance and security posture reviews for regulated industries (legal, accounting, real estate)
One-time projects as well as ongoing advisory
Why it matters: Businesses that outsource functions like IT tend to grow revenue roughly 15% faster on average than those handling everything internally — largely because leadership spends time running the business instead of researching software and troubleshooting.
How
Process and Pricing
Most consulting relationships start with a free strategy call to understand where your business is headed and what’s slowing it down. From there, engagements can be a one-time project (a technology roadmap, a vendor decision, a compliance review) or an ongoing monthly advisory retainer alongside a managed IT plan. Pricing depends on scope — a single project is quoted upfront, and ongoing advisory is typically priced as a flat monthly add-on.

FAQ
FAQ
Do we need to already be an IzzyTech IT client to use consulting?
No — consulting is available as a standalone service, whether or not we manage your day-to-day IT.
How is this different from a virtual CIO?
It covers similar ground — strategic planning, budgeting, vendor decisions — under a name more businesses recognize.
Is this a one-time engagement or ongoing?
Both are available — some clients want a single roadmap, others prefer an ongoing advisor they can check in with as things change.
Will you push us toward IzzyTech's own IT services, or give unbiased advice?
Recommendations are based on what’s right for your business, not what IzzyTech sells. If ongoing managed IT makes sense, that gets said plainly — and if it doesn’t, that’s fine too.
Do you work with businesses that already have an internal IT person or another provider?
Yes. Consulting is often brought in alongside existing IT support — as a second opinion, a project lead, or a planning resource an internal team doesn’t have time for.
What size of business do you typically work with?
Mostly small businesses — a handful of staff up to a few dozen — particularly professional service firms like legal, accounting, and real estate offices that don’t have, and don’t need, a full-time IT department.
Can you review a quote or contract from another IT vendor before we sign?
Yes — a second opinion on pricing, scope, or a contract’s fine print is one of the most common one-off requests.
